Strange, I can see it just fine. Girl with a balloon. Very nice shot.

I can see it if I click on the 'broken image' icon, it opens in flickr, not in the forum page. Yeah, it is a very nice shot.

Testing Asahi Pentax LX after I got the exposure working again, with my TOKINA RMC Tokina Mk II 28-70mm f4 which has an aperture stop down intermittent fault so not all shots were great. Taken at my Sister-in-Law's house with Window Light and JESSOPS Pan 100S cut from bulk and processed in home-made FX-4 Formula 1+1 for 8 mins @ 20oC.

I have been trying to digitise old slides with my K3 and HD DA 35mm. Results are very sketchy even on shots I know to be super sharp and colourful when viewed on a projector screen. There seems to be no consistency in IQ or fidelity. Converting to B&W helps sometimes, but not others! Anyway here are today's B&W conversions. And what's more it looks like its time to get my sensor cleaned. Grrrrr.

I suspect the image was updated on Flickr, but some of our browsers had the original image cached for a while. Link to it, until the post gets updated.

Ok. I have heard that the colour reproduction qualities of LED light sources varies a bit, however my guess is that it wouldn't be enough to explain the inconsistencies you are seeing. Wish I had some suggestions or advice
